Not illustrated. 1880 Excerpt: ...as the British drove Saltonstall, in the war." This was felt to be almost treasonable. No boy had ever dared to say a word in favor of the British, whose name was detested in Fairport, although the Revolutionary War was now a great way behind in the history of the town.
